Women-owned businesses are growing twice as fast on average than all businesses in the United States and are transforming the economy and male dominated business world. Being an entrepreneur as a woman takes courage, resilience, and the willingness to bet on yourself and the vision of your business.
Our KIPP alum business owners embody these values everyday through their work. And while it’s not easy to start and run your own business, having support and guidance from other women business owners can be valuable as you grow. This month on the KIPP On Learning podcast, three KIPP alum and now business owners share their advice for young women entrepreneurs launching new businesses. Check out their advice below and tune into the KIPP On Learning Podcast to hear the full episode of gems on March 22nd.

1. Have fun with it. Don’t be afraid to incorporate your own style. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Just go with it. Trust your instinct, and know that there will be challenging days ahead, but there also will be a lot of fun days and it’ll all be worth it in the end.
2. Connect and communicate with other women entrepreneurs. Don’t be afraid to ask them for advice. Don’t be afraid to ask, 'Hey, how did you do your own website?' or 'How is Shopify working for you?' It’s so important to connect and support one another. And, so eventually, you'll also be that supporting person to other women who are just starting off.
